I attempted the impossible...yes for a brief moment in time I pretended that I had fast twitch muscles and did a 50 fr and a 50 BACK :doh: While I was less than thrilled with the idea I decided that every soo often you have to at least TRY new events...my last official SCM 50 free was 1999 and I even managed a best time on my 50bk.... Of course there was the standby 200breast and 1500 free to make up for any brusing of the ego as a result of the meager attempts to sprint.
I have no idea how you sprint studs do it...I was the last off the block and as for breathing WELLL...let's just say there was A LOT...and my poor legs had no idea what the :censor: I was doing trying to kick.
STILL it was pretty fun..I was pleased that I am at least trying new events even though I am a distance/*** person. How bout you guys? Anyone stepped "out of the box ?" I am sure that the people at the meet got a good giggle but for the most part it was pretty fun.
You swam the 200 back?! OK, now you've made me feel totally terrible and whimpish. :thhbbb: Good luck on the 2-fly! No amount of humiliation and peer pressure will make me succumb to that one!
at practice Leslie, practice... the mile was done at practice too, though that one was done at pretty much top speed since I took it out nearly as fast as I took out the 1000 at State 2 years ago.
the 2-fly will be done either at a meet or in a time trial because, dangit, I want the extra glide that a start from the blocks will give me!!!
